"By purchasing the Alpine Trekker, you have made a commitment to high-performance backcountry skiing. The Alpine Trekker is the finest alpine touring adaptor made, and is backed with a one-year warranty.

It is designed for use in climbing and traversing only—and must always be removed prior to downhill skiing." WTF? How can you have made a commitment to high performance skiing and not go downhill?!?!?!

Because you take them off and use your regular bindings for going down the hill bro.

Ahhhhh, I see now wise one. I should have read the site more.

I have not done it, but I have heard of people skiing down whithout removing them. It's hard on them though.

You will break em if you ski down on them. They are cheap though, so if you or your friend wants to check out AT skiing with little commitment then they are a good choice. At least as long as you already have a downhill setup.

My 2 cents, these things rock, relatively speaking. Not quite randonee but a great getup to getup there if you have the DH setup. Plus a DH setup is way more fun for the descent... A bargain considering the MSR $180.

thanks b-rock

ok folks I'd also consider trading these guys for a new 60m or 70m dry rope or other?

[Bronco]

Just in case anyone missed it the first time around.

I'd also consider trades on larger sized cams in good shape.
